- the present invention relates to a throw-away tip and more specifically to a throw-away tip comprising a blade containing diamond.
- a throw-away tip is provided with a chip breaker such as a breaker groove and a breaker wall.
- Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 4-217404 (PTD 1)
- Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 4-217405 (PTD 2)
- Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 4-217406 (PTD 3) disclose defining a chip breaker in surface roughness to curl chips spirally.
- PTDs 1-3 describe forming a chip breaker by electro-discharge machining or grinding, and accordingly, the chip breaker is shaped in the form of a simple groove. Accordingly, depending on the working condition(s), it cannot curl chips spirally and cannot obtain desired chip processability. Furthermore, the chip breaker formed by electro-discharge machining has a blade with a rake face that is an electro-discharge machined surface, and the blade's cutting edge cannot be formed sharply. Thus, when the throw-away tips disclosed in PTDs 1-3 are used to work a workpiece, the workpiece has aggravated finished surface roughness.
- diamond is used for a blade to improve a throw-away tip in strength and wear resistance.
- diamond has large hardness and is thus not easily processed, and thus it is difficult to use it to form a chip breaker excellent in chip processability.
- the present invention contemplates a throw-away tip which includes a blade containing diamond and is excellent in chip processability.
- the present invention in one manner provides a throw-away tip comprising a body and a blade provided to the body and having a cutting edge, the blade containing 80% by volume or more of diamond, the blade having a land surface extending along the cutting edge, and a chip breaker having a recess located opposite to the cutting edge with the land surface therebetween, the recess having a side surface having a rake face that recedes continuously as a distance thereof from the land surface increases in magnitude and that has a shape identical to that of a portion of a side surface of a shape of a body of revolution.
- a throw-away tip which includes a blade containing diamond and is excellent in chip processability.
- the present invention in one manner provides a throw-away tip (1) comprising a body and a blade provided to the body and having a cutting edge, the blade containing 80% by volume or more of diamond, the blade having a land surface extending along the cutting edge, and a chip breaker having a recess located opposite to the cutting edge with the land surface therebetween, the recess having a side surface having a rake face that recedes continuously as a distance thereof from the land surface increases in magnitude and that has a shape identical to that of a portion of a side surface of a shape of a body of revolution.
- the throw-away tip according to one manner of the present invention that has a blade including a chip breaker having a recess with a side surface having a rake face that recedes continuously as a distance thereof from the land surface increases in magnitude and that has a shape identical to that of a portion of a side surface of a shape of a body of revolution allows a workpiece to be cut such that chips flow out along the rake face of the chip breaker toward the bottom of the rake face, and large distortion can be imparted to the chips.
- the throw-away tip according to one manner of the present invention can thus exhibit excellent chip processability under a variety of cutting conditions.
- the throw-away tip according to one manner of the present invention has a blade containing 80% by volume or more of diamond and hence excellent in strength and wear resistance.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a throw-away tip 1 of one embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a blade 3 of throw-away tip I shown in Fig. 1 .

- Fig. 5 is a cross section along a line B-B' of Fig. 3 .
- throw-away tip 1 of the present embodiment includes a body 2 and a blade 3 provided to body 2. While throw-away tip 1 of Fig. 1 is a parallelogram in a plan view, it is not limited to any particular shape. While throw-away tip of Fig. 1 has body 2 with a plurality of corners having one thereof provided with blade 3, two or more corners may be provided with blade 3. Body 2 can be formed of material such as steel, cemented carbide, etc. Body 2 has an upper surface with a corner notched to allow blade 3 to be adhered thereto. The notch is formed by opening the corner's upper and lateral sides. The notch has a triangular bottom surface in a top plan view, and a side wall erected vertically from the bottom surface.
- Blade 3 is adhered to the notch of body 2.
- Blade 3 has a generally triangular upper surface 31 identical to the bottom surface of the notch in a top plan view, a bottom surface opposite to upper surface 31 and identical in shape to upper surface 31, and a side surface 32 connecting a periphery of upper surface 31 and a periphery of bottom surface 31.
- a surface located over a corner of the body configures a flank 33 of the throw-away tip.
- Chip breaker 9 is formed to extend along the ridge line of the position at which the blade 3 upper surface 31 and side surface 32 cross each other. Chip breaker 9 includes a recess 7 formed along cutting edge 4.
- Blade 3 contains 80% by volume or more of diamond.
- Diamond is excellent in strength and wear resistance, and the blade containing diamond can be excellent in strength and wear resistance, and can enhance the chip breaker in longevity as a tool.
- blade 3 has a diamond content of 90% by volume or more, more preferably 95% by volume or more.
- the diamond can be a sintered diamond compact of sintered powdery diamond, single crystal diamond synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), etc.
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- the blade sintered compact When the diamond sintered compact is used for blade 3, the blade has excellent wear resistance in working of nonferrous metal in particular, and can provide satisfactory finished surface.
- the single crystal diamond synthesized by CVD When the single crystal diamond synthesized by CVD is used for blade 3, the blade can have excellent wear resistance and have a cutting edge with sharpness (i.e., edge sharpening performance).
- the single crystal diamond has an absorption coefficient in a range of 2 cm -1 or more and 90 cm -1 or less for a laser wavelength in a wavelength range of 190 nm or more and 11000 nm or less.
- the single crystal diamond has an absorption coefficient in said range, it easily absorbs laser light, which helps laser-machining of blade 3. This allows blade 3 to be worked to have a desired contour and the chip breaker to be formed at blade 3 with high precision.
- the laser wavelength is 1064 nm, it is more preferable that the single crystal diamond have an absorption coefficient in a range of 5 cm -1 or more and 20 cm -1 or less.
- the single crystal diamond When the laser wavelength is 532 nm, it is more preferable that the single crystal diamond have an absorption coefficient in a range of 30 cm -1 or more and 70 cm -1 or less. When the laser wavelength is 355 nm, it is more preferable that the single crystal diamond have an absorption coefficient in a range of 60 cm -1 or more and 90 cm -1 or less.
- Blade 3 has upper surface 31 with a land surface 5 formed to extend along cutting edge 4.
- land surface 5 has a determined width W1 in a direction perpendicular to cutting edge 4 and extending toward the center of upper surface 31.
- Land surface 5 preferably has width W1 in a range of 10 ⁇ m or more and 100 ⁇ m or less.
- Land surface 5 having width W1 of 10 ⁇ m or more allows the blade to have the cutting edge with strength maintained and can prevent the cutting edge from chipping and thus enhance the throw-away tip in longevity as a tool.
- Land surface 5 having width W1 of 100 ⁇ m or less allows cutting to be done while preventing chips from running up onto the land surface and thus being large in length and enhances the throw-away tip's chip processability.
- land surface 5 has width W1 of 10 ⁇ m or more and 70 ⁇ m or less.
- land surface 5 has a surface roughness in a range of 0.05 ⁇ m or more and 0.2 ⁇ m or less. This allows the blade to have a cutting edge formed sharply and thus provides a workpiece with satisfactory finished surface roughness.
- surface roughness is a ten-point average height (Rz). More specifically, it is a value that is obtained in a portion extracted from a profile curve only by a reference length and represents a difference between an average value of the highest to fifth highest peaks' altitudes and an average value of the deepest to fifth deepest troughs' altitudes, as represented in micrometers ( ⁇ m).
- land surface 5 has a surface roughness in a range of 0.08 ⁇ m or more and 0.15 ⁇ m or less.
- Blade 3 has upper surface 31 with chip breaker 9 formed opposite to cutting edge 4 with land surface 5 therebetween and having a recess 7.
- recess 7 is a portion of chip breaker 9 that is formed along cutting edge 4 in a vicinity of a corner.
- a side surface which forms an outer contour of recess 7 includes a rake face 6 which recedes continuously from land surface 5 as a distance toward the center of blade 3 increases in magnitude, and a breaker wall surface 16 which is raised from a rear end of rake face 6 toward upper surface 31 of blade 3. This allows chips flowing out in cutting a workpiece to first flow out along rake face 6 toward the bottom of rake face 6. At the time, distortion is imparted to the chips and thus helps to shred the chips. Subsequently, the chips reach the bottom of rake face 6 and collide against breaker wall surface 16. At the time, the chips are shredded by the collision. Or the chips are shredded as further distortion is imparted thereto
- Rake face 6 is identical in shape to a portion of a side surface of the shape of a body of revolution. According to this, in recess 7 of blade 3, in cutting a workpiece, chips flow out along rake face 6 of the chip breaker toward the bottom of rake face 6, and large distortion can be imparted to the chips.
- the shape of the body of revolution means a solid that can be formed by revolving a plane figure once with a straight line on its plane serving as an axis of revolution.
- the shape of the body of revolution includes a sphere, a cone, etc., for example.
- rake face 6 has a shape identical to a portion of a side surface of a cone. This can maintain the cutting edge's strength.
- an angle of inclination ⁇ of rake face 6 relative to land surface 5 is preferably in a range of 15° or more and 50° or less. This allows cutting to be done with chips easily flowing out along the rake face and thus enhances the throw-away tip's chip processability. Furthermore, it can also maintain strength of the cutting edge of the blade and thus also enhance the throw-away tip in longevity as a tool.
- angle of inclination ⁇ of rake face 6 relative to land surface 5 is an acute angle among angles formed by a plane 15 assumed when land surface 5 is extended to above the recess (hereinafter also referred to as a "top plane of the recess") and rake face 6. Angle of inclination ⁇ of rake face 6 relative to land surface 5 is more preferably 20° or more and 40° or less.
- Rake face 6 preferably has a surface roughness in a range of 2 ⁇ m or more and 7 ⁇ m or less. This increases resistance caused when chips flowing out in cutting scratch the surface of the rake face, and the chips are easily curled and the throw-away tip's chip processability is thus improved.
- surface roughness is a ten-point average height (Rz).
- Rake face 6 more preferably has a surface roughness in a range of 3.0 ⁇ m or more and 6.0 ⁇ m or less.
- recess 7 preferably has a maximum depth D in a range of 60 ⁇ m or more and 300 ⁇ m or less. This allows cutting to be done with distortion effectively imparted to chips and thus enhances the throw-away tip's chip processability.
- maximum depth D of recess 7 is a maximum value of a distance to the bottom of the recess from plane 15 assumed when land surface 5 is extended to above the recess (i.e., the top plane of the recess).
- recess 7 has maximum depth D in a range of 60 ⁇ m or more and 200 ⁇ m or less.
- recess 7 preferably has a width 2 in a direction perpendicular to cutting edge 4 (hereinafter also referred to as a "width of the recess") in a range of 0.2 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less. This allows chips flowing out in cutting to collide against breaker wall surface 16, without running up onto upper surface 31 of blade 3, to help to shred the chips and thus enhance the throw-away tip's chip processability.
- width 2 in the direction perpendicular to cutting edge 4 means a distance between an end of the opening of the recess closer to the land surface and an end of the opening of the recess closer to the center of the blade, as seen in a direction along a straight line which is perpendicular to cutting edge 4 and is also located on the top plane of the recess.
- width 2 means a distance between an end of the opening of the recess closer to the land surface and an end of the opening of the recess closer to the center of the blade, as seen in a direction along a straight line which is perpendicular to a tangent of the curve and is also located on the top plane of the recess.
- Recess 7 more preferably has width 2 in the direction perpendicular to cutting edge 4 in a range of 0.25 mm or more and 0.7 mm or less.
- a projection 8 is formed along a bisector (B-B') of the corner angle of blade 3. This allows chips flowing out in cutting a workpiece to collide against projection 8 and thus be shredded or imparts further distortion to the chips and thus shred the chips
- projection 8 will exist on a path along which chips flow out, which can more effectively shred the chips.
- projection 8 has a height H in a range of 20% or more and 80% or less relative to maximum depth D of the recess. This allows chips flowing out in cutting to collide against projection 8, without running up onto the projection, to help to shred the chips.
- projection 8 having height H of 80% or less relative to maximum depth D of the recess can be prevented from being worn in cutting and thus enhance the throw-away tip in longevity as a tool.
- height H of projection 8 is a height of the projection as seen in a cross section to which the bisector (B-B') of the corner angle is a normal and that traverses a position at which the recess presents maximum depth D.
- projection 8 when projection 8 is seen in the cross section to which the bisector of the corner angle is a normal, it has a cross sectional shape increasing in width as the recess becomes deeper.
- the cross sectional shape of projection 8 can be a triangle, a trapezoid, etc., for example.
- the cross sectional shape of the projection in a widthwise direction W3 preferably has a minimum value (hereinafter also referred to as a "minimum width of the projection") in a range of 5 ⁇ m or more and 40 ⁇ m or less. This allows chips flowing out in cutting to collide against the projection, without running up onto the projection, to help to shred the chips and thus enhance the throw-away tip's chip processability. More preferably, the cross sectional shape of the projection in widthwise direction W3 preferably has a minimum value in a range of 10 ⁇ m or more and 20 ⁇ m or less.
- Projection 8 as seen in a direction along the bisector of the corner angle, preferably has a length W5 in a range of 0.2 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less. This helps chips flowing out in cutting to collide against the projection to help to shred the chips and thus enhance the throw-away tip's chip processability.
- Body 2 having a notch, and blade 3 containing 80% by volume or more of diamond are prepared.
- the blade is brazed to the notch of the body, and ground with a diamond wheel to have a cutting edge.
- a high output pulsed laser is used to work a surface of blade 3 to form chip breaker 9.
- a blade containing diamond is worked by electro-discharge machining, grinding or the like, which limits a chip breaker to a simple shape.
- blade 3 is worked with precise positioning done by laser irradiation, which can provide a chip breaker in a desire shape.
- the shape of recess 7 of the chip breaker presented along cutting edge 4 can be precisely adjusted, and the throw-away tip's chip processability can be enhanced.
- a blade made of a polycrystalline hard sintered compact containing 90% by volume of diamond having an average grain size of 0.5 ⁇ m or less was brazed at a corner of the body, as shown in Fig. 1 , and then ground with a diamond wheel to have a cutting edge.
- a high output pulse YVO 4 : Nd laser enhanced in condensability by a galvanometer mirror (wavelength: 1,064 nm) was employed with an output of 1.5 W, an oscillatory frequency of 22 kHz and a working pitch of 1 ⁇ m to proceed to carve the blade in contour lines in a constant working amount to form on an upper surface of the rake face of the blade a shape of a chip breaker having a three-dimensionally shaped recesses and projections.
- a variety of samples with rake faces varied in shape as shown in table 1 were produced and accessed in chip processability. The cutting conditions and the tool's shape are indicated below.

- a rake face having a chip breaker allows chips to be shredded to have a length of 300 mm or less.
- a land surface having a width in a range of 10-100 ⁇ m allows a throw-away tip to present satisfactory chip processability and stable endurance.
- Breaker working condition YAG (wavelength: 532 nm), with a frequency of 60 kHz, an output of 2.5 W, and a working pitch of 1.8 ⁇ m
- Sample 3A had a rake face without a chip breaker, and chips were not shredded.
- samples 3B-3G had a chip breaker, and chips had a length of 300 mm or less.
- samples 3C-3F had a recess with a maximum depth of 0.06 mm to 0.30 mm and a width of 0.20 mm to 1.00 mm and provided chips having a length of 200 mm or less and hence presented particularly satisfactory chip processability.
- Sample 4A had a rake face without a chip breaker, and chips were not shredded.

- sample 4F had the projection worn when a cutting length of 10 km was reached.
- a projection having height (H) in a range of 0.02-0.08 mm allows particularly satisfactory chip processability, and it has thus been found that satisfactory chip processability is provided when height (H) of the projection is in a range of 20-80% of maximum depth (D) of the recess.

4-217405 - PTD 3: Japanese Patent Laying-Open No.
4-217406 - PTDs 1-3 describe forming a chip breaker by electro-discharge machining or grinding, and accordingly, the chip breaker is shaped in the form of a simple groove. Accordingly, depending on the working condition(s), it cannot curl chips spirally and cannot obtain desired chip processability. Furthermore, the chip breaker formed by electro-discharge machining has a blade with a rake face that is an electro-discharge machined surface, and the blade's cutting edge cannot be formed sharply. Thus, when the throw-away tips disclosed in PTDs 1-3 are used to work a workpiece, the workpiece has aggravated finished surface roughness.
- Furthermore, diamond is used for a blade to improve a throw-away tip in strength and wear resistance. However, diamond has large hardness and is thus not easily processed, and thus it is difficult to use it to form a chip breaker excellent in chip processability.
- Accordingly, the present invention contemplates a throw-away tip which includes a blade containing diamond and is excellent in chip processability.
- The present invention in one manner provides a throw-away tip comprising a body and a blade provided to the body and having a cutting edge, the blade containing 80% by volume or more of diamond, the blade having a land surface extending along the cutting edge, and a chip breaker having a recess located opposite to the cutting edge with the land surface therebetween, the recess having a side surface having a rake face that recedes continuously as a distance thereof from the land surface increases in magnitude and that has a shape identical to that of a portion of a side surface of a shape of a body of revolution.
- In this manner, there can be provided a throw-away tip which includes a blade containing diamond and is excellent in chip processability.

Fig. 4 is a cross section along a line A-A' ofFig. 3 . -
Fig 5 is a cross section along a line B-B' ofFig. 3 . - Initially, embodiments of the present invention are enumerated and described. The present invention in one manner provides a throw-away tip (1) comprising a body and a blade provided to the body and having a cutting edge, the blade containing 80% by volume or more of diamond, the blade having a land surface extending along the cutting edge, and a chip breaker having a recess located opposite to the cutting edge with the land surface therebetween, the recess having a side surface having a rake face that recedes continuously as a distance thereof from the land surface increases in magnitude and that has a shape identical to that of a portion of a side surface of a shape of a body of revolution.
- The throw-away tip according to one manner of the present invention that has a blade including a chip breaker having a recess with a side surface having a rake face that recedes continuously as a distance thereof from the land surface increases in magnitude and that has a shape identical to that of a portion of a side surface of a shape of a body of revolution allows a workpiece to be cut such that chips flow out along the rake face of the chip breaker toward the bottom of the rake face, and large distortion can be imparted to the chips. The throw-away tip according to one manner of the present invention can thus exhibit excellent chip processability under a variety of cutting conditions. Furthermore, the throw-away tip according to one manner of the present invention has a blade containing 80% by volume or more of diamond and hence excellent in strength and wear resistance.
- (2) Preferably, an angle of inclination of the rake face relative to the land surface is in a range of 15° or more and 50° or less. This allows cutting to be done with chips easily flowing out along the rake face and thus enhances the throw-away tip's chip processability. Furthermore, it can also maintain strength of the cutting edge of the blade and thus also enhance the throw-away tip in longevity as a tool. In the present specification, an angle of inclination of the rake face relative to the land surface is an acute angle among angles formed by a plane assumed when the land surface is extended to above the recess (hereinafter also referred to as a "top plane of the recess") and the rake face.
- (3) Preferably, the land surface has a width in a direction perpendicular to the cutting edge in a range of 10 µm or more and 100 µm or less. This allows cutting to be done while preventing chips from running up onto the land surface and thus enhances the throw-away tip's chip processability. Furthermore, it can also maintain strength of the cutting edge of the blade and thus also enhance the throw-away tip in longevity as a tool. Note that the direction perpendicular to the cutting edge means a direction along a straight line which is perpendicular to the cutting edge and is also located on the land surface. Note that if the cutting edge is curved, the direction means a direction along a straight line which is perpendicular to a tangent of the curve and is also located on the land surface
- (4) Preferably, the recess has a maximum depth in a range of 60 µm or more and 300 µm or less. This allows cutting to be done with distortion effectively imparted to chips and thus enhances the throw-away tip's chip processability.
- (5) Preferably, the recess has a width in a direction perpendicular to the cutting edge in a range of 0.2 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less. This allows chips flowing out in cutting to collide against an inclined surface that is raised from a rear end of the rake face of the recess of the chip breaker toward an upper surface of the blade (hereinafter also referred to as the breaker's wall surface), without running up onto the upper surface of the blade, to help to shred the chips and thus enhance the throw-away tip's chip processability.
- (6) Preferably, the blade has a corner, the recess has on a side surface of the recess a projection formed along a bisector of an angle of the corner, and the projection has a height in a range of 20% or more and 80% or less relative to a maximum depth of the recess. This allows chips flowing out in cutting to collide against the projection, without running up onto the projection, to help to shred the chips and thus enhance the throw-away tip's chip processability.
- (7) Preferably, when the projection is seen in a cross section to which the bisector of the angle of the corner is a normal, the projection has a cross sectional shape increasing in width as the recess becomes deeper, and the cross sectional shape in a widthwise direction has a minimum value in a range of 5 µm or more and 40 µm or less. This allows chips flowing out in cutting to collide against the projection, without running up onto the projection, to help to shred the chips and thus enhance the throw-away tip's chip processability.
- (8) Preferably, the projection has a length in a direction along the bisector of the angle of the corner in a range of 0.2 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less. This helps chips flowing out in cutting to collide against the projection to help to shred the chips and thus enhance the throw-away tip's chip processability.
- (9) Preferably, the land surface has a surface roughness in a range of 0.05 µm or more and 0.2 µm or less, and the rake face has a surface roughness in a range of 2 µm or more and 7 µm or less. The land surface having a surface roughness in a range of 0.05 µm or more and 0.2 µm or less allows the blade to have a cutting edge formed sharply to thus provide a workpiece with satisfactory finished surface roughness. Furthermore, the rake face having a surface roughness in a range of 2 µm or more and 7 µm or less increases resistance caused when the chips having flown out in cutting scratch the surface of the rake face, and the chips are easily curled and the throw-away tip's chip processability is thus improved.
- (10) Preferably, the diamond is single crystal diamond synthesized by vapor deposition Single crystal diamond is excellent in strength and wear resistance, and the throw-away tip can have excellent wear resistance and have a cutting edge with sharpness (i.e., edge sharpening performance).
- (11) Preferably, the single crystal diamond has an absorption coefficient in a range of 2 cm-1 or more and 90 cm-1 or less for laser light of 190 nm or more and 11000 nm or less in wavelength. The single crystal diamond having an absorption coefficient in a range of 2cm-1 or more and 90 cm-1 or less easily absorbs laser light. The single crystal diamond can thus be easily laser-machined to provide a blade with a chip breaker shaped as desired to thus enhance the throw-away tip's chip processability.
- A specific example of a throw-away tip according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings below. Note that the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than these examples, and is intended to include any modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the terms of the claims.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a throw-away tip 1 of one embodiment of the present invention.Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of ablade 3 of throw-away tip I shown inFig. 1 .Fig. 3 is an enlarged top view ofblade 3 of throw-away tip I shown inFig. 1 .Fig. 4 is a cross section along a line A-A' ofFig. 3 .Fig. 5 is a cross section along a line B-B' ofFig. 3 . - With reference to
Fig. 1 , throw-away tip 1 of the present embodiment includes abody 2 and ablade 3 provided tobody 2. While throw-away tip 1 ofFig. 1 is a parallelogram in a plan view, it is not limited to any particular shape. While throw-away tip ofFig. 1 hasbody 2 with a plurality of corners having one thereof provided withblade 3, two or more corners may be provided withblade 3.Body 2 can be formed of material such as steel, cemented carbide, etc.Body 2 has an upper surface with a corner notched to allowblade 3 to be adhered thereto. The notch is formed by opening the corner's upper and lateral sides. The notch has a triangular bottom surface in a top plan view, and a side wall erected vertically from the bottom surface. -
Blade 3 is adhered to the notch ofbody 2.Blade 3 has a generally triangularupper surface 31 identical to the bottom surface of the notch in a top plan view, a bottom surface opposite toupper surface 31 and identical in shape toupper surface 31, and aside surface 32 connecting a periphery ofupper surface 31 and a periphery ofbottom surface 31. Ofside surface 32, a surface located over a corner of the body configures aflank 33 of the throw-away tip. - Of the sides configuring the periphery of
upper surface 31 ofblade 3, a side formed by a ridge line of a position at which theblade 3upper surface 31 and side surface 32 cross each other configures acutting edge 4. - At
blade 3, achip breaker 9 is formed to extend along the ridge line of the position at which theblade 3upper surface 31 and side surface 32 cross each other.Chip breaker 9 includes arecess 7 formed along cuttingedge 4. -
Blade 3 contains 80% by volume or more of diamond. Diamond is excellent in strength and wear resistance, and the blade containing diamond can be excellent in strength and wear resistance, and can enhance the chip breaker in longevity as a tool. Preferably,blade 3 has a diamond content of 90% by volume or more, more preferably 95% by volume or more. - The diamond can be a sintered diamond compact of sintered powdery diamond, single crystal diamond synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), etc. When the diamond sintered compact is used for
blade 3, the blade has excellent wear resistance in working of nonferrous metal in particular, and can provide satisfactory finished surface. When the single crystal diamond synthesized by CVD is used forblade 3, the blade can have excellent wear resistance and have a cutting edge with sharpness (i.e., edge sharpening performance). - Preferably, the single crystal diamond has an absorption coefficient in a range of 2 cm-1 or more and 90 cm-1 or less for a laser wavelength in a wavelength range of 190 nm or more and 11000 nm or less. When the single crystal diamond has an absorption coefficient in said range, it easily absorbs laser light, which helps laser-machining of
blade 3. This allowsblade 3 to be worked to have a desired contour and the chip breaker to be formed atblade 3 with high precision. When the laser wavelength is 1064 nm, it is more preferable that the single crystal diamond have an absorption coefficient in a range of 5 cm-1 or more and 20 cm-1 or less. When the laser wavelength is 532 nm, it is more preferable that the single crystal diamond have an absorption coefficient in a range of 30 cm-1 or more and 70 cm-1 or less. When the laser wavelength is 355 nm, it is more preferable that the single crystal diamond have an absorption coefficient in a range of 60 cm-1 or more and 90 cm-1 or less. -
Blade 3 hasupper surface 31 with aland surface 5 formed to extend along cuttingedge 4. With reference toFig. 5 ,land surface 5 has a determined width W1 in a direction perpendicular to cuttingedge 4 and extending toward the center ofupper surface 31.Land surface 5 preferably has width W1 in a range of 10 µm or more and 100 µm or less.Land surface 5 having width W1 of 10 µm or more allows the blade to have the cutting edge with strength maintained and can prevent the cutting edge from chipping and thus enhance the throw-away tip in longevity as a tool.Land surface 5 having width W1 of 100 µm or less allows cutting to be done while preventing chips from running up onto the land surface and thus being large in length and enhances the throw-away tip's chip processability. Further preferably,land surface 5 has width W1 of 10 µm or more and 70 µm or less. - Preferably,
land surface 5 has a surface roughness in a range of 0.05 µm or more and 0.2 µm or less. This allows the blade to have a cutting edge formed sharply and thus provides a workpiece with satisfactory finished surface roughness. Herein, surface roughness is a ten-point average height (Rz). More specifically, it is a value that is obtained in a portion extracted from a profile curve only by a reference length and represents a difference between an average value of the highest to fifth highest peaks' altitudes and an average value of the deepest to fifth deepest troughs' altitudes, as represented in micrometers (µm). Further preferably,land surface 5 has a surface roughness in a range of 0.08 µm or more and 0.15 µm or less. -
Blade 3 hasupper surface 31 withchip breaker 9 formed opposite to cuttingedge 4 withland surface 5 therebetween and having arecess 7. Herein,recess 7 is a portion ofchip breaker 9 that is formed along cuttingedge 4 in a vicinity of a corner. A side surface which forms an outer contour ofrecess 7 includes arake face 6 which recedes continuously fromland surface 5 as a distance toward the center ofblade 3 increases in magnitude, and abreaker wall surface 16 which is raised from a rear end ofrake face 6 towardupper surface 31 ofblade 3. This allows chips flowing out in cutting a workpiece to first flow out alongrake face 6 toward the bottom ofrake face 6. At the time, distortion is imparted to the chips and thus helps to shred the chips. Subsequently, the chips reach the bottom ofrake face 6 and collide againstbreaker wall surface 16. At the time, the chips are shredded by the collision. Or the chips are shredded as further distortion is imparted thereto -
Rake face 6 is identical in shape to a portion of a side surface of the shape of a body of revolution. According to this, inrecess 7 ofblade 3, in cutting a workpiece, chips flow out alongrake face 6 of the chip breaker toward the bottom ofrake face 6, and large distortion can be imparted to the chips. Herein, the shape of the body of revolution means a solid that can be formed by revolving a plane figure once with a straight line on its plane serving as an axis of revolution. The shape of the body of revolution includes a sphere, a cone, etc., for example. When the shape of the body of revolution has the axis on a bisector of the corner angle ofblade 3, chips flow toward the maximum depth of the bottom located under the bisector of the corner angle, and larger distortion can be imparted to the chips. Preferably, rakeface 6 has a shape identical to a portion of a side surface of a cone. This can maintain the cutting edge's strength. - With reference to
Fig. 5 , an angle of inclination α ofrake face 6 relative to landsurface 5 is preferably in a range of 15° or more and 50° or less. This allows cutting to be done with chips easily flowing out along the rake face and thus enhances the throw-away tip's chip processability. Furthermore, it can also maintain strength of the cutting edge of the blade and thus also enhance the throw-away tip in longevity as a tool. Note that angle of inclination α ofrake face 6 relative to landsurface 5 is an acute angle among angles formed by aplane 15 assumed whenland surface 5 is extended to above the recess (hereinafter also referred to as a "top plane of the recess") and rakeface 6. Angle of inclination α ofrake face 6 relative to landsurface 5 is more preferably 20° or more and 40° or less. -
Rake face 6 preferably has a surface roughness in a range of 2 µm or more and 7 µm or less. This increases resistance caused when chips flowing out in cutting scratch the surface of the rake face, and the chips are easily curled and the throw-away tip's chip processability is thus improved. Herein, surface roughness is a ten-point average height (Rz).Rake face 6 more preferably has a surface roughness in a range of 3.0 µm or more and 6.0 µm or less. - With reference to
Fig. 4 ,recess 7 preferably has a maximum depth D in a range of 60 µm or more and 300 µm or less. This allows cutting to be done with distortion effectively imparted to chips and thus enhances the throw-away tip's chip processability. Note that maximum depth D ofrecess 7 is a maximum value of a distance to the bottom of the recess fromplane 15 assumed whenland surface 5 is extended to above the recess (i.e., the top plane of the recess). Further preferably,recess 7 has maximum depth D in a range of 60 µm or more and 200 µm or less. - With reference to
Fig. 5 ,recess 7 preferably has awidth 2 in a direction perpendicular to cutting edge 4 (hereinafter also referred to as a "width of the recess") in a range of 0.2 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less. This allows chips flowing out in cutting to collide againstbreaker wall surface 16, without running up ontoupper surface 31 ofblade 3, to help to shred the chips and thus enhance the throw-away tip's chip processability. Note thatwidth 2 in the direction perpendicular to cuttingedge 4 means a distance between an end of the opening of the recess closer to the land surface and an end of the opening of the recess closer to the center of the blade, as seen in a direction along a straight line which is perpendicular to cuttingedge 4 and is also located on the top plane of the recess. Note that if the cutting edge is curved,width 2 means a distance between an end of the opening of the recess closer to the land surface and an end of the opening of the recess closer to the center of the blade, as seen in a direction along a straight line which is perpendicular to a tangent of the curve and is also located on the top plane of the recess.Recess 7 more preferably haswidth 2 in the direction perpendicular to cuttingedge 4 in a range of 0.25 mm or more and 0.7 mm or less. - With reference to
Fig. 3 to Fig. 5 , preferably, on a side surface ofrecess 7, aprojection 8 is formed along a bisector (B-B') of the corner angle ofblade 3. This allows chips flowing out in cutting a workpiece to collide againstprojection 8 and thus be shredded or imparts further distortion to the chips and thus shred the chips Whenprojection 8 is formed along the bisector of the corner angle ofblade 3,projection 8 will exist on a path along which chips flow out, which can more effectively shred the chips. Preferably,projection 8 has a height H in a range of 20% or more and 80% or less relative to maximum depth D of the recess. This allows chips flowing out in cutting to collide againstprojection 8, without running up onto the projection, to help to shred the chips. Furthermore,projection 8 having height H of 80% or less relative to maximum depth D of the recess can be prevented from being worn in cutting and thus enhance the throw-away tip in longevity as a tool. Note that height H ofprojection 8 is a height of the projection as seen in a cross section to which the bisector (B-B') of the corner angle is a normal and that traverses a position at which the recess presents maximum depth D. - Preferably, when
projection 8 is seen in the cross section to which the bisector of the corner angle is a normal, it has a cross sectional shape increasing in width as the recess becomes deeper. The cross sectional shape ofprojection 8 can be a triangle, a trapezoid, etc., for example. The cross sectional shape of the projection in a widthwise direction W3 preferably has a minimum value (hereinafter also referred to as a "minimum width of the projection") in a range of 5 µm or more and 40 µm or less. This allows chips flowing out in cutting to collide against the projection, without running up onto the projection, to help to shred the chips and thus enhance the throw-away tip's chip processability. More preferably, the cross sectional shape of the projection in widthwise direction W3 preferably has a minimum value in a range of 10 µm or more and 20 µm or less. -
Projection 8, as seen in a direction along the bisector of the corner angle, preferably has a length W5 in a range of 0.2 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less. This helps chips flowing out in cutting to collide against the projection to help to shred the chips and thus enhance the throw-away tip's chip processability.Projection 8, as seen in the direction along the bisector of the corner angle, more preferably has length W5 in a range of 0.25 mm or more and 0.7 mm or less. - An example of a method for manufacturing the throw-away tip of the present embodiment will now be described.
Body 2 having a notch, andblade 3 containing 80% by volume or more of diamond are prepared. The blade is brazed to the notch of the body, and ground with a diamond wheel to have a cutting edge. Subsequently, a high output pulsed laser is used to work a surface ofblade 3 to formchip breaker 9. Conventionally, a blade containing diamond is worked by electro-discharge machining, grinding or the like, which limits a chip breaker to a simple shape. In contrast, in the present embodiment,blade 3 is worked with precise positioning done by laser irradiation, which can provide a chip breaker in a desire shape. In particular, the shape ofrecess 7 of the chip breaker presented along cuttingedge 4 can be precisely adjusted, and the throw-away tip's chip processability can be enhanced. - The present invention will now be more specifically described by way of examples However, the present invention is not limited to these examples.
- In the present example, what effect the shape of the rake face of the recess has on chip processability and the amount of the flank worn in cutting was investigated.
- A blade made of a polycrystalline hard sintered compact containing 90% by volume of diamond having an average grain size of 0.5 µm or less was brazed at a corner of the body, as shown in
Fig. 1 , and then ground with a diamond wheel to have a cutting edge. - Subsequently, a high output pulse YVO4: Nd laser enhanced in condensability by a galvanometer mirror (wavelength: 1,064 nm) was employed with an output of 1.5 W, an oscillatory frequency of 22 kHz and a working pitch of 1 µm to proceed to carve the blade in contour lines in a constant working amount to form on an upper surface of the rake face of the blade a shape of a chip breaker having a three-dimensionally shaped recesses and projections. A variety of samples with rake faces varied in shape as shown in table 1 were produced and accessed in chip processability. The cutting conditions and the tool's shape are indicated below. In this assessment, chips of a range of 5 mm or more and 300 mm or less in length were determined as being satisfactory.

Samples 2B-2F had a chip breaker, and chips were shredded to have a length of 300 mm or less. Inter alia, samples 2B-2E had their land surfaces in a range in width of 5-100 µm, and provided chips having a length of 50-150 mm and hence particularly satisfactory chip processability. However, sample 2B had a land surface with a width of 5 µm, and had the cutting edge chipped when a cutting length of 10 km was reached.
- It has thus been found that a rake face having a chip breaker allows chips to be shredded to have a length of 300 mm or less. In particular, it has been found that a land surface having a width in a range of 10-100 µm allows a throw-away tip to present satisfactory chip processability and stable endurance.
- What effect the recess's maximum depth (D) and width (W2) have on chip processability and the amount of the flank worn in cutting was investigated. Each sample indicated in table 3 was produced in a method similar to that in Example 1. In order to investigate only the effect of the maximum depth and width of the recess, the samples had chip breakers with recesses shaped to have similar figures. A variety of samples each with the recess's maximum depth and width varied as shown in table 3 were produced and accessed in chip processability. The cutting conditions and the tool's shape are indicated below. In this assessment, chips of a range of 5 mm or more and 300 mm or less in length were determined as being satisfactory.

In contrast, samples 3B-3G had a chip breaker, and chips had a length of 300 mm or less. Inter alia, samples 3C-3F had a recess with a maximum depth of 0.06 mm to 0.30 mm and a width of 0.20 mm to 1.00 mm and provided chips having a length of 200 mm or less and hence presented particularly satisfactory chip processability.

In contrast, samples 4B-4F had a chip breaker, and chips had a length of 300 mm or less. Inter alia, samples 4C-4F had a projection with height (H) of 0.02-0.10 mm and provided chips having a length of 200 mm or less and hence presented particularly satisfactory chip processability. However, sample 4F had the projection worn when a cutting length of 10 km was reached.
- Thus when the recess has maximum depth (D) of 0.1 mm, a projection having height (H) in a range of 0.02-0.08 mm allows particularly satisfactory chip processability, and it has thus been found that satisfactory chip processability is provided when height (H) of the projection is in a range of 20-80% of maximum depth (D) of the recess.
- What effect the projection's cross sectional shape has on chip processability in cutting was investigated. Each sample indicated in table 5 was produced in a method similar to that in Example 1. The samples were assessed in performance under cutting conditions with a tool having a shape, as follows:

In contrast, samples 5B-5G had a chip breaker, and chips had a length of 300 mm or less. Inter alia, samples 5D-5F had a projection having a trapezoidal cross section and an upper surface having a width (W3) of 5 to 40 µm, and provided chips having a length of 50-150 mm and hence presented particularly satisfactory chip processability.
- The projection has a uniform cross section along the bisector of the corner angle of the tool. As indicated in Example 3, in order to exhibit satisfactory chip processability, width (W2) of the recess needs to be in a range of 0.20-1.0 mm, and as indicated in Example 4, height (H) of the projection needs be a height of 20-80% of maximum depth (D) of the recess. Accordingly, the projection as seen along the bisector of the corner angle needs to have length (W5) equal to or smaller than width (W2) of the recess.
- Thus it has been found that particularly satisfactory chip processability is exhibited when the projection has a trapezoidal cross section having a widthwise minimum value (W3) in a range of 5 µm to 40 µm and along the bisector of the corner angle has length (W5) in a range of 0.20-1.0 mm.
- What effect the rake face's surface roughness (Rz1) has on chip processability in cutting was investigated. The samples had their chip breakers worked under a variety of laser machining conditions to have rake faces having worked surfaces different in surface roughness, as indicated in table 6. The samples were assessed in performance under cutting conditions with a tool having a shape, as follows:
-
- Workpiece: cylindrical aluminum material (A5052)

- Land surface's width (W1): 0.01 (mm)
- Recess's maximum depth (D): 0.1 (mm)
- Recess's width (W2): 0.4 (mm)
- Projection's height (H): 0.05 (mm)
- Projection's minimum width (W3): 0.020 (mm)
- Rake face's surface roughness (Rz1): see table 6

- Working conditions: YVO4 (wavelength: 1064 nm), and see table 6

In contrast, samples 6B-6G had a chip breaker, and chips had a length of 300 mm or less. Inter alia, samples 6C-6G had a rake face with surface roughness Rz1 of Rz 2.0 µm or more and provided chips having a length of 50-150 mm and hence presented particularly satisfactory chip processability. This is because a rake face having coarser surface roughness Rz1 increases resistance caused when chips scratch, resulting in chips curled to be small. However, a rake face having excessively large surface roughness increases adhesion of a cut material to the rake face, and while satisfactory chip processability is presented, finished surface roughness is worsened depending on the case, as presented by sample 6G.
- What effect the land surface's surface roughness (Rz2) has on chip processability and finished surface roughness in cutting was investigated. The samples had land surfaces formed by lapping done for a variety of periods of time to have the land surfaces with worked surfaces different in surface roughness, as indicated in table 7. The samples were assessed in performance under cutting conditions with a tool having a shape, as follows:
-

-
- Description of tool used: DCMT11T304
- Tool's material: polycrystalline hard sintered compact containing 90% by volume of diamond having an average grain size of 0.5 µm or less
- Holder's description: SDJCL2525M11
- Rake face's shape: identical to a portion of a side surface of a cone
- Angle of inclination of the rake face relative to the land surface: 25°
- Land surface's width (W1): 0.01 (mm)
- Recess's maximum depth (D): 0.1 (mm)
- Recess's width (W2): 0.4 (mm)
- Projection's height (H): 0.05 (mm)
- Projection's minimum width (W3): 0.020 (mm)
- Rake face's surface roughness (Rz1): Rz4.0 (µm)
- Land surface's surface roughness (Rz2): see table 7
- Working condition: YVO4 (wavelength: 1,064 nm), with a frequency of 20 kHz, an output of 5.5 W, and a working pitch of 1 µm
- An evaluation result is indicated in table 7.

However, a land surface having excessively large surface roughness impairs the cutting edge's edge sharpening performance, and while satisfactory chip processability is presented, finished surface roughness is worsened depending on the case, as presented by sample 7E. In contrast, land surface roughness Rz2 of about Rz0.01 µm, as sample 7A has, requires lapping for 10 hours or more, which is not economical.
- Thus, a rake face having surface roughness Rz1 in a range of Rz2.0-7.0 µm and a land surface having surface roughness Rz2 in a range of Rz0.05-0.20 µm allow chips to have a length of 150 mm or less and thus provide particularly satisfactory chips.

Tools were formed of three types of materials as indicated in table 8 The chip breaker was produced by laser machining under the following working conditions. The samples were assessed in performance under cutting conditions with a tool having a shape, as follows:
